Aussie Icons Quiz – Printable
$5.50
A printable bingo game for seniors based on Australian icons — people, places, and things. Five clue questions are asked about each icon, with a reveal photo included. Suitable for groups and adaptable for a range of cognitive abilities.
This printable bingo game for seniors tests knowledge of 12 well-known Australian icons across people, places, and things. Five questions are asked about each icon before the answer is revealed, making it a structured group quiz with a bingo-style format. Activity coordinators receive all components as downloadable PDF files after purchase.
How it can be used
Run the activity with the whole group or split participants into two competing teams. After each answer is revealed, a photo of the icon can be displayed and a short discussion held. For participants with lower cognitive functioning, the activity can be adapted to focus on reminiscing and conversation about the icons rather than answering quiz questions. The bingo sheets printable PDF format means coordinators can print as many copies as needed for their group size.
This activity includes:
- 12 Australian icons covered, each with five clue questions
- A reveal photo for each icon
- Instructions for running the session
- Suitable for groups with intact cognitive functioning or adapted for reminiscence-based engagement
- All files delivered by email as downloadable PDFs within 48 hours of purchase
- Whole-group quiz: Read five clue questions aloud for each icon and have participants call out answers as a group before the reveal photo is shown.
- Team competition: Split the group into two teams and award points for correct answers, with the reveal photo shown after each icon is identified.
- Reminiscence discussion: For participants who find the quiz format challenging, use the reveal photos as conversation starters — asking what they remember about each icon rather than testing recall.
- ANZAC Day session: Select icons relevant to Australian history and wartime heritage to tie the activity into an ANZAC Day commemoration program.
- Small group rotation: Print multiple bingo sheets and run the activity across smaller tables, with a staff member facilitating each group independently.
